Senior Brandon fixing a school laptop-says Alexander

In a random survey of 104 Morton East High School students, 58 out of 104 students have gone to TSI this school year so far; however, 46 have said they have not gone to TSI this school year.

According to Google Overview AI, 60% of high schools offer computer-fixing classes.  And, the problems with Chromebooks in high schools include hardware issues like short lifespans and high repair costs, over-reliance on an internet connection, and significant distractions that hinder focus and social-emotional development.

“Students get charged a yearly tech fee of $90 that takes care of any problems they might have throughout the year,” said TSI tech Isaiah Carrera.

Many students get their money’s worth.

“Students only pay a yearly fee at the beginning that covers everything,” said senior Brandon Vergara.

And, TSI gets a lot of customers.

“I go to TSI for tech help at least 3 times a month,” said junior Isaac Leon.

So does this student.

“I go to TSI for password and Wi-Fi problems,” said sophomore Christian Baylon.

But, the lucky ones are the students who haven’t had the need to visit TSI.

“I don’t have any tech issues so far,” said sophomore Brian Mendoza.
